------------------

Avrin's augmented body trembled as he slowly stood up within the rubble of the last boulder he had been smashed into.

It could be said that Wolven's attack knocked some sense back into Avrin's mind causing him to slowly recover his sanity as his hunger for dark matter lessened.

"-Who is this man?-" Avrin's eyes narrowed as he sensed that the man before him was dangerous.

The High Deity that Avrin had almost killed felt a genuine sense of relief, as he stood up and rushed over to the Deity of the Consortium, and bowed before him.

"Sire. Thank you for the assist-" The Ancient Deity cut him off with a glare and scoffed before replying.

"You're in my way." After saying that, a terrifying surge of mana exploded outwards as he began taking steps forward towards Avrin.

Struck with the surge of mana, The High Deity trembled with fear as he was blasted away, leaving him feeling as if he were an ant in the eyes of a giant.

"Y-yes..." Without hesitation, he quickly fled with his life thankfully intact. Even though he was filled with hatred towards Avrin, he was now slightly curious about the Deity's identity.

As Avrin's augmented body slowly reverted to normal, he was just about to open the door to completing the final step of his advancement. As such, he didn't dare to hesitate.

"-Astaroth...-" Avrin called out. The God Essence weapon immediately appeared within Avrin's formerly augmented right hand.

The Ancient Deity eyed the weapon and even stopped for a moment upon feeling the weapon's ominous aura, but he then resumed walking towards Avrin unreserved.

"Daring to attack and even steal from the Consortium? You have some nerve..." The Deity casually twirled his right hand's index finger as several glowing brown runes appeared and started circling the tip of his finger before bursting into pulses of light.

With the Deity at the center, a large slab of earth, within a one-thousand-meter radius shook and cracked as a large pattern took shape around the Deity. With several runic circles appearing, the ground began to split along the edges of the magic circles that now encircled both Avrin and Wolven; then the newly formed landmass began to rise slowly. After a few moments, the landmass shot up into the sky like a bullet.

As this occurred, Avrin remained calm as he glanced at the unidentified Deity.

"-This will be tough...-" Avrin knew that the Deity before him was much stronger than the Elder Deity he had previously fought at the Consortium's headquarters. Neither of them moved a muscle as time passed by until they flew into outer space stopping only when they reached the planet's orbit. It was here that they would begin their battle, with the stars at their backs and the great gem of a planet and its moons as their foreground.
